ICYMI: Biden Says He Wants to Pay Brazil $20 Billion to Stop Cutting Down Trees [Watch]
Does anybody else agree with him on this?

Even for Joe Biden, a man known for making outlandish statements with no basis in reality, this proposal is quite something. Imagine sending $20 billion to a foreign country to have them not lift a finger.
This is how nutty the left has become. From USA Today:
WASHINGTON – A voter asked former Vice President Joe Biden a blunt question during an event in Nevada: “What the hell is going on with your campaign?”
WATCH:
In Marion, Iowa, @JoeBiden suggests the U.S. should lead an effort to pay countries to not cut down their trees:

Good grief. @TheDemocrats including Biden do not have a sane relationship with money

And so it was that the Dept of Trees and Shrubs was born. Followed closely by the Division of Sweat Reclamation and the 30 second rule of food dropped on the floor was extended by the FDA to 2 minutes.
Thanks Joe! We couldnt have fkd ourselves any better had you not come along.

OMG free education & free healthcare to illegal & free money to other countries for trees. Does it ever stop with these people? Let me know when one of the candidates offer something that doesn't cost American citizens more in taxes for other countries & their citizens

Perhaps we need to have that same "money doesn't grow on trees" conversation with the Democrats, that we have with our kids.

Great idea, Joe. Give money to countries who will line up to take the money to fatten their Swiss bank accounts while kids in OUR inner cities may not have a tree in their neighborhood. Aid for citizens first.

So you’re goal is to commit to spending taxpayer money on literally anything without so much as a payback period, to try and get voters from Bernie? Just stop, Joe. You blew it.

I’d like to see @Biden pass the hat for this idea! How many rallies would it take to collect $20 billion from his supporters?
— Bill Craver (@Craver_Crave) February 18, 2020
Tell you what Joe – I won't cut down the trees on my property if you give me just $1 million dollars. What a great deal! You're such a genius. Thanks for telling us all your brilliant ideas.

What??? Crazy, even for Joe.

He’s lost his damn mind.

This only sounds like a good idea if you’re an idiot who spends their entire life inside a city and doesn’t know trees are growing 33% faster than we can cut them down. This is what happens when you think Ferngully and the Lorax are documentaries.

Is he going to withhold the $20 billion if they don’t stop cutting? That’s bribery!
— Tabula Rasa (@tabularasa202) February 18, 2020
That’s ridiculous!

The American people want to work. They want to earn their paychecks to feel as though they are contributing.
So, when far-left candidates propose eliminating jobs – for pretty much any reason – it doesn’t sit well, nor should it.
Biden, apparently, doesn’t understand this. The fact that the economy is thriving means next to nothing to him and it’s pretty sad.
To talk of eliminating hundreds of thousands of jobs because the AOC’s of the nation think they know what’s best is downright pathetic.
From Daily Wire:
Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden signaled support for eliminating hundreds of thousands of blue collar jobs on Thursday night in order to transition to a “greener economy.”
QUESTION: "Would you be willing to sacrifice…hundreds of thousands of blue collar workers in that transitioning to that greener economy?"
BIDEN: "The answers yes." pic.twitter.com/23Qh1wyEa6

Police Say Buffalo Supermarket Shooting was Racially Motivated
Local authorities described the crime as “pure evil”.


On Saturday, a young gunman walked into a quiet grocery store in Buffalo, New York and opened fire.
The scene was described as chaotic and “armageddon-like”, as the killer stalked through the store expressionless, cold, and live-streaming the whole thing to the internet. When the horror ended, ten were dead, several others injured, and the city of Buffalo was left scarred.
Now, in a deplorable revelation, police are disclosing that the crime was racially motivated.
An 18-year-old white gunman shot 10 people to death and wounded three on Saturday at a grocery store in a Black neighborhood of upstate New York, before surrendering after what authorities called an act of “racially motivated violent extremism.”
Authorities said the suspect, who was armed with an assault-style rifle and appeared to have acted alone, drove to Buffalo from his home several hours away to launch the afternoon attack that he broadcast in real time on social media platform Twitch, a live video service owned by Amazon.com.
Eleven of the 13 people struck by gunfire were Black, officials said. The two others were white. The racial breakdown of the dead was not made clear.
Hateful online content has been attributed to the killer.
A document circulating online that appeared to have been written by the killer sketched out a to-do list for the attack, including cleaning the gun and testing the livestream.
In addition, a 180-page manifesto outlining ‘The Great Replacement Theory’ – the idea that white people are being replaced by minorities in the United States and other countries – also circulated online, reportedly authored by Gendron.
The suspect has suggested that he chose this particular grocery store on account of the high minority demographics within the ZIP code, further corroborating his hateful basis.

While there are certainly plenty of reasons to worry about the never-ending march into the technological dystopia before us, we have to admit that some of what were seeing is still pretty darn cool.
For many of us, it’s as though we’re living in an episode of The Jetsons. Self-driving cars, video phone calls, apps that can tell you what song you’re listening to in the blink of an eye. These are all revolutionary pieces of technology that we have gained for ourselves in merely the last decade or so.
This week, however, Google may have just taken the cake on powerful consumer electronics, teasing a pair of glasses that can translate languages nearly in real-time.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Wednesday teased a pair of smart glasses capable of translating languages in real time.
Pichai showed a video demo of the glasses during Google’s I/O developer summit. While they’re still just a prototype, Google suggested the glasses can show live language translations to the person wearing them.
So, someone with the augmented reality glasses might be able to understand what another person is saying just by reading captions that are presented through the lenses while the other person speaks.
There was no indication as to whether or not the glasses would ever be available to the public, however.
